In what would be the first hour-long series from Amazon Studios, Hodge will be playing Irie Love, a 36-year-old escaped convict, who proclaims he’s an innocent man who was railroaded.

Written and directed by Carter, “The After” takes place at the moment of apocalypse. Also starring are Jamie Kennedy, who plays a professional clown; and “Heroes” star Adrian Pasdar, who will play a successful Beverly Hills businessman. Georgeville, the company of Marc Rosen and Reliance’s Motion Picture Capital, is producing the series.
